the donut shoppe

great fresh doughnuts. but get thereearlywhen they first open to get a variety. or you will get stuck with glaze or any random doughnut. my favs are the twirl and devils food.

this was my first foodie stop once i arrived in jacksonville and i have to say these are the best glazed donuts i have ever had! only downside is you need to get hereearlyas they sell out pretty quickly.

best in the world. seriously. i love their apple fritters, but everything is fantastic. you've got to get thereearlybefore all the best ones are gone :)

a true jacksonville institution, the donut shoppe has been serving customers in arlington since it opened its doors in 1962. they open bright andearlyevery day at 5am and serve delicious donuts made fresh daily.  while krispy kreme and dunkin donuts may be good, the donut shoppe takes you back to time where every corner wasn’t some giant chain and every donut didn’t come off an assembly line looking identical.  they take cash only and they close the doors when they sell out. you’ll have to show upearlyif you want to get some of this sugary goodness! according to a 2010 times union poll the donut shoppe had the best donut in jax.  we’re convinced that assertion still holds true today. the donut shoppe food: on this visit to the shoppe we took home a dozen donuts($8.37) plus an “ugly” also known as an apple fritter. we started off trying the standard glazed donut.  it was pretty darn good.  it was slightly more dense and sugary than a dunkin but not nearly as de

omg... i've had donuts in all the major us cities and none come close to these. arriveearlyas the donuts go fast! the glazed are sweet, soft, mouth watering heavenly delights. my favorite is the chocolate frosted glazed donut..... help me somebody!!! i live way too close and may have to join a 12 step donut program!! the apple fritters are wonderful and the cake donuts, very moist. when you first walk in it may seem the choices are limited compared to dd but then you realize who needs more when these satisfy every possible donut desire? oh and just for the record....most of the dd no longer make their own donuts!. they're brought in from an outside bakery every day! i don't cate where you live..... this place is worth the drive. since they moved down the street, they've added coffee.... and it's really good! and yes they only take cash..... however they now have an atm right in the bakery! the donut shoppe is to die for!

doughnut heaven. i learned about these donuts from one of the docs i used to work with about 20 yrs ago. he would bring them in for the staff on sat and sun mornings. let's just say that after that i drove all up and down university blvd looking for that shoppe!!!!! and when i found it, it was on!!!!!!
this shoppe should be on diners, drive-ins, and dives as the best donut shoppe in the world!!!!
definitely worth the drive wherever you are and i've learned to get thereearlyor call ahead to place an order. :-)))))))

they work hard!. i am married to david, the owner of the donut shoppe. he works really hard to ensure we have a quality product. many complain that we "run out of their favorite donut", but david strives to keep donuts in the case until closing time. if you truly want a special donut, you can call in an orderearlyin the day (or the day before) and your order will be ready. we truly appreciate our customers and all the compliments! we will continue to strive to be the best donut shop in jacksonville!

yeah good doughnuts "but". ok they are good doughnuts but it seems that everytime i go there they are out of my favorite apple fritters..and i have gotten thereearlytoo..now they have moved down the street next to "broken spoke." so maybe they will get on the ball since it is a bigger place and make a bigger quantity of your favorites and mine..who knows we'll see just how important customers are i guess...

the best. the donut shoppe has the best donuts in jax. i love kk and dd but this place is just special. be sure to get thereearlyand stand in line.

best donuts in the world, no really i mean it. i once went on a business trip to texas and had donuts from a chain called shipleys. it motivated me to find something in jax better than kk or dunkin. boy did i ever. donut shoppe is every bit as good as shipleys and then some. simply the best donuts i have ever had. the cake donuts are moist and flavorful, the fillings are awesome and the uglys are the best thing on the planet! get thereearlyand enjoy!

get there early!. if you'reearlyenough (or smart enough to order over the phone) you can partake in the freshly made donuts from this local legend. coffee's not too shabby, either. so much better than its big chain counterparts. look for the gate gas station, its right next door.

my grandmother used to work here!! the donut shoppe has the best donuts around.... by far!! better get thereearlythough they sell out fast!! =]

love them. these are the best donuts ever, it is worth getting upearlyto order the donuts. you will never want any other donuts again.

yumm!!!!!!. best donuts in town!! callearlyto place an order to get your favorites. they sell out fast. we make a trip out of it and drive in from orange park. yes...they are that good!!!

fantastic donuts. worth getting upearlyfor, these are the best donuts ever. but they sell out fast, so come early, and bring cash, they don't take credit, debit or checks.
also you can call the night before and leave a message (order), and they will have your order ready when you get there.
